Quotes that have influenced your life

Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )

Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.

Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....

Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.

"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

Literary wishes and Shakespearean dreams,
HistorianChick

"You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!'" - Dave Barry

"If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either." - Unknown

"The more people I meet the more I like my dog." - Unknown

You can't buy loyalty,they say,
I bought it though,the other day
You cant buy friendships,tried and true
Well just the same,I bought that too.
I made my bid and on spot
Brought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness,so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devotion from the start
If you think these things are
NOT FOR SALE

Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a wagging tail

Unknown


And for the dog lovers.

A few more my wife reminded me of this afternoon:

"A friend is something you are, not something you have." - Jerry Beaucaire

"Character is what you do when no one is looking." - JB (said it my whole life, but I know someone famous had to have said it first.)

"Fair doesn't mean getting what you wanted or worked for, fair means getting what you actually earned." - JB

"Even if you think the answer is 'no', then you might as well ask anyway." - JB (mostly a philosophy used in bartering in stores for discounts. I'm shocked at how many times I get a 'yes' in places that you wouldn't think barter/negotiate prices.)

Altenweg agrees: Love them JB.

A couple of stolen ones I used over the years:

"Its easier to get forgiveness than permission."
"You wouldn't worry about what people think about you if ever knew how seldom they do."
"It is what it is."

Comments on this post
startover22 agrees: It's easier to get forgiveness than permission???? That sounds wild to me! When I was young, it was way better to get the permission first.....heehee

Wow.... I LOVE this!!! Its going in my signature... right.... now!

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.


-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

I couldn't help it.....
Have a great week, I am off in the morning for a cool vacation. I am driving the truck and trailer with my four babies 6 hours away to see family that I love and miss terribly. I told my daughter that, I will be crying at the beginning (because I get to see everyone) in the middle (because I know the end of our trip is near, and at the end (because it's over)

I can't wait....so while I am gone you guys behave and have lot's of quotes for me to read, I enjoy this thread so much!!

friend4u178 agrees: Hope you have a great vacation starty :)
